📢 A gentle reminder to all my lovely clients:

My October calendar is already filling up quickly.

If you need alterations on your garments especially for special occasions, please book your appointment as early as possible, as I may not be able to accommodate urgent bookings once my calendar is full.

Thank you so much for your continued support and for trusting La Modista Australia with your special garments.💕

My heart is so full receiving these beautiful wedding photos from my lovely client.🥹💗

This wedding dress is extra special to me, not only because I had the privilege of creating it from scratch, but because the beautiful bride and I were primary and high school clasmates decades ago.

Our journey with this dress actually started two years ago in Canada, when we had the opportunity to see each other and I took her body measurements. From there, came the conversations, the planning, choosing and finalising the design, and eventually bringing her dream wedding dress to life.

Last April, I finally created her dress in preparation for her July wedding. Every step of the process felt so meaningful, knowing that I wasn't simply making another dress, I was creating something for someone who had been part of an earlier chapter of my life.

And then came the most beautiful part: seeing her wearing the dress on her wedding day! 👰

It means so much to me that, after all these years and despite the distance, she trusted me to create one of the most important dresses she will ever wear.

Thank you for choosing me and trusting my hands, my creativity, and my craftsmanship. It was such a pleasure working with you from the very beginning until the moment you finally wore your bridal dress.

I feel incredibly honoured to have played a small part in such a special chapter of your life. Seeing these photos and seeing how beautiful and happy you looked makes all the hours of work so worthwhile. 🥹🤍

From childhood friends to creating your wedding dress, what a beautiful moment!

Congratulations once again to the beautiful newlyweds. May your marriage be filled with a lifetime of love, happiness, laughter, and beautiful memories. ❤️

With love,
Valerie

📌 A KIND REMINDER ABOUT CONTACTING LA MODISTA AUSTRALIA

Dear valued clients,

I would just like to share a gentle reminder, especially for those who are new to La Modista Australia, regarding the best way to contact me.

Please understand that I do not operate as a traditional shop with staff available to answer the phone at all times. La Modista Australia is a one-woman business. I don't have a receptionist, assistant, or other staff member to answer calls or messages on my behalf.

If you call and I am unable to answer, it is most likely because I am with another client, conducting a fitting, pinning a garment, or working on alterations. When a client is in my premises, I believe they deserve my full attention and service, just as you will receive my full attention when it is your appointment.

At the moment, I am also receiving a very high volume of enquiries, and I sincerely appreciate your patience while I work through them.

Behind La Modista Australia is just one person trying to manage everything. If I'm not sewing, I'm serving clients. And when I'm not doing either of those, I'm also a mum taking care of my family and managing everyday commitments... from school drop-offs and pick-ups to errands, appointments, household responsibilities, health issues and everything in between.

I genuinely try my best to respond to everyone as soon as I possibly can. 💗

For those who are new to my services, I kindly encourage you to visit my website, where you will find information about my services and how my business operates, including the fact that I do not operate as a shop in the traditional sense.

📞 If I miss your call, please send me a text message.

I also try to listen to voicemails in between fittings and appointments, but with the current volume of enquiries, I sincerely apologise if I occasionally miss some.

The best ways to contact me are:

- Facebook Messenger
- SMS/Text Message
- Email through the contact form on my website

Written messages are much easier for me to respond to when I have a moment between clients, sewing and family commitments. They also allow me to go back and check the details of your enquiry when needed.

Please know that a missed call or delayed response does not mean that your enquiry is unimportant or that I am ignoring you. Sometimes, there simply aren't enough hours in the day for one person to do everything at once.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding and for respecting the way my small business operates. Every enquiry, appointment and client is genuinely appreciated.🙏

Sincerely,
Valerie

I'm so happy to receive this photo from one of my lovely and nice clients, Bronwyn. I altered/restyled her mother-of-the-bride dress by turning the short sleeves into long sleeves! Isn't she lovely? 😍

I'm also glad to know that she loves her dress and got many compliments!

Thank you so much for this photo, Bronwyn! 💕

ADVISORY‼️

Dear Valued Clients,

Please be advised that I will not be accepting more Formal Wear or Bridal Alterations throughout the month of September, as I will have limited availability during this period due to an upcoming event. However, I will still continue to accept bookings for basic clothing alterations during this time, and those who have bookings already for formal and bridal on September will still proceed as scheduled.

For August, I now have only 4 appointment slots remaining for Formal and Bridal Alterations.

If you have an upcoming event and require formal or bridal alterations, please secure your booking as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Once these remaining appointments are filled, I will be unable to accommodate any additional formal or bridal alterations before my September closure. My books will open again for formal and bridal on October.

Thank you for your understanding, your continued trust and support, and for allowing La Modista Australia to be part of your special moments. I look forward to assisting you with your alteration needs.💕

Much love,
Valerie

My mama heart is bursting with pride and joy!😍 My daughter has won another pageant, and of course I created her pageant dress again! 💕 This is an inaugural pageant, making her the first-ever winner! 😍

Watching my daughter be crowned the first-ever Miss Teen of Australia is something I will cherish forever. This crown is more than a title, it represents her hard work, courage, kindness, determination, and the beautiful young woman she is becoming.

Thank you to the incredible pageant committee for believing in these young ladies and creating such an amazing platform. Thank you to everyone who supported, encouraged, prayed for, and celebrated with us, especially our family, friends, her pageant sisters, and her talented makeup artist for helping make this journey so special.🙏

My darling daughter,

As your mum, I couldn't be prouder. I've watched you overcome challenges, believe in yourself, and continue to shine with grace and humility. You have shown that dreams really do come true when you work hard, stay true to yourself, and never give up. This crown is a reflection of your strength, kindness, determination and belief in your dreams.👑🙏

My darling, wear your crown with kindness, lead with humility, and always remember that your greatest beauty comes from your heart. No matter where this journey takes you, you will always be my greatest blessing and my biggest pride.

Congratulations, my Teen Queen. 👑💙

With so much love,
Mum
